: I called my vet after that last post, and was told it is the same proceedure. Just general useage of the words distinguishes necropsy for animals. Vets will however use the word autopsy because more people know what that means. In the past my vets really did use the word autopsy when referring to this topic.
Gary,
Ok agreed. They are the same thing. (Dissecting and examining a dead body.) Also that the 'general' usage has become autopsy-human , necropsy-animal. You beat me to the punch on saying that vets use the term autopsy to the 'civilians' because nearly everyone knows the meaning of that word vs necropsy.
take care,
Mike
